Drafting is one of the most specialist and refined skills that must be mastered by those training for the Bar. Not only must barristers be able to draft with absolute clarity and precision, but they must also be able to use drafting skills effectively for persuasive and tactical purposes. One can only learn drafting skills through practice, but once the elements have been grasped it becomes a transferable skill which can be used in the creation of many different legal documents. This manual takes the trainee barrister through a range of different types of draft, including all the major types required for general practice. The emphasis is, however, on statements of case, because of theirimportance in civil litigation, and because they provide the best foundation for the learning process. This is intended to be a comprehensive teaching manual of real practical use to all readers. Every example is followed by a detailed commentary explaining the draft. Throughout the manual are a series of exercises, which will enable practitioners and trainees to practise and develop their skills and to discover further techniques not included in the examples.
